        Learning English is one of the things that is considered very useful. Since it was established as an international language, droves of students and even adults around the world are competing to learn English as an asset that benefits themselves, including in the world of work. Some jobs will usually provide more value for their workers if they have very useful skills, one of which is in the field of language. It cannot be blamed that language is an important aspect of working life. If we are able to use a foreign language, the more likely we are to win the world of work globally. One of the best ways to learn English is to use imitation methods which have been widely practiced in the world of education and produce satisfying results. Why is this method used so much? One of the reasons why this method is used by many students around the world to learn English is because this method is very convenient to use. First, this method is not too burdensome for students, it even seems that it makes students more able to learn quickly. Second, students will be more focused and easier to understand learning because they will understand more easily because while listening, they also immediately practice what they are learning. Some of the weaknesses of this method are that it will minimize the ability of students to be independent because it is considered to be more dependent on speaking because it only learns what is learned without any intention of finding out new things independently.

        Learning a language cannot be separated from a teacher. The same goes for learning English. Based on experience, learning English without a teacher will be very detrimental because without a teacher if a student experiences confusion or misunderstands something, then he doesn't know who to ask. That is one of the important roles of a teacher in learning. A teacher will certainly be very helpful for a student in studying, especially in learning English. English has so many stages that it is impossible for a student to learn independently without knowing what is right and what is wrong. So there, the role of the teacher is expected to be able to help students. Having a teacher makes students understand better what is being directed and taught. The teacher plays a role in providing material which will certainly be useful and learned by the student in learning it. Without a teacher, of course a student will feel lost. Without a teacher, students will not know what is right and what is wrong. Why is that? Because, the teacher is like a guide, he will direct the student so as not to make mistakes in learning.

        One of the easiest ways to learn English is by imitating. This method of course requires a teacher, because through this method the students will learn like a baby who will imitate the people in front of them. Likewise the student in this case. They will imitate what is taught by the teacher and then repeat it over and over again until they are deemed capable. Even by using this method, many students claim that it is easier for students to learn English, including vocabulary pronunciation and speaking as well. Imitating in learning English is one of the things that can naturally be found in the world of education, because many students choose easy things in learning. Learning English in this method is certainly a very beneficial thing for students. Because they unconsciously will be more fluent because they imitate the teacher. Just like a baby who is just learning to speak, the students will certainly prefer to practice the learning method directly so that they find it easier to learn. This technique is used by teachers because by using this method the students are judged to be more responsive and quick to learn personally. Learning to use this method is one of the things that is considered easy because besides the students will quickly learn vocabulary pronunciation and speaking, indirectly their listening skills will be honed. So this method provides so many advantages for students in learning. Learning pronunciation, speaking and even listening will greatly improve. Reading and writing skills will certainly develop as these abilities are honed. However, this method is considered more appropriate in learning speaking and listening than reading and writing.

        Using this method will certainly help students learn one of the speaking techniques, namely the accent. If the teacher teaches using an American accent, then of course the student will follow the teacher's accent too. Likewise, if the teacher uses a British accent, then the student will use the same accent. The use of accents in English is quite taken into account because it will add one of the plus points. Because it will attract a lot of interlocutors who prefer to hear the speaker when speaking. Moreover, when the speaker uses an accent that is rarely encountered, there must be many other people who want to learn from the speaker himself. The accent itself is one of the things that will be learned in speaking because accents really help identify which English we are learning. Say you studied American English so you would use an American accent instead of a British accent or an Australian accent? That's why in learning about it, an accent will be one of the important bonuses in learning English.

        Based on these things, it can be concluded that this mimic method will be considered one of the most widely used methods in teaching and learning techniques. This method is not too burdensome for students, even seeming to make students better able to learn quickly. Students will be directed and easier to understand learning because they will be easier to understand because while listening, they also practice what is learned. The weakness of this method will minimize the ability of students in independently because they are considered more dependent in speaking because they only learn what is learned without any intention to find out new things independently. A teacher will certainly be very helpful for a student in studying, especially in learning English. English has so many stages that will not be studied independently by a student without knowing which is right and which is wrong. So that's where the role of the teacher is expected to be able to help students. This method is very profitable, because it is considered easy because besides students will quickly learn the pronunciation of vocabulary and speaking, then indirectly skill listening to them will join.
